Why reducing body fat can improve your performance. Fat burning is often overlooked by endurance athletes and cyclists, but in fact, in the words of James Cracknell "reducing the timber" is one of the critical ingredients in improving performance and getting across the finish line, the reason being that if you are able to reduce the amount of weight that you are carrying, whilst maintaining lean muscle and power output the faster you can go, and if you already have the best bike and lightest kit it is the only variable that you can affect. Chop the wood with Thermogen Whether you cycle to get keep fit, race or for the comradery reducing body fat can be beneficial. There is no doubt that reducing body fat can have significant health benefits and cycling along with Thermogen can achieve this. If however you want to win races, then it is all about reducing weight and maintaining power output, so a reduction in body fat and the associated weight can help you power up even the steepest inclines. The key ingredient in Thermogen is Yerba mate which is a herb traditionally consumed in South America, where it’s known for its energy-boosting properties and antioxidant properties.This was found in a recent Nutrition and Metabolism study investigating yerba mate's fat-burning properties during exercise. In a study, a group of fourteen men and women were recruited to partake in two sessions on an exercise bike. Each time their test on the bike was the same and each time they received a pill one hour before cycling. The participants rode on the bike at increasing intensities every three minutes until they reached the limits of their ability to intake oxygen. The researchers measured performance, to determine how much energy was consumed. Results - both fat burning and the percentage of total energy expenditure that came from fat instead of carbs or protein both increased by 24%, as long as the intensity levels were submaximal, or below seventy percent of VO2 peak. For most people, this intensity would be equivalent to a heart rate of between 150 and 160 beats per minute.
The science: L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and plays a significant role in muscle recovery. Many endurance and strength athletes often suffer from muscle fatigue which cannot only hinder optimum performance but delay recovery too. Beat the bonk with L-glutamine L-Glutamine has been unveiled as the ‘everyman’ supplement, holding a use for all athletes and weekend warriors. L- Glutamine is quite common in everyday foods, and our body holds onto stores of it already, so you’re not taking in some un-natural substance, in fact you had it in you all along. The benefits of L Glutamine are similar to other amino acids, in that they offer a ‘reserve supply’ effect, allowing you to carry on stronger for longer, without depleting levels. But how does this relate to cycling? Well, put simply, if you’re on a long endurance ride, you’ll be whittling down your body’s supplies of glutamine, which can leave you vulnerable and weak; we might be talking very slightly here, but that’s what cycling’s all about at elite level: marginal gains. A study published in the journal of “Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise,” showed the depletion of glutamine stores in the body of endurance cyclists is related to suppression of the immune system. Cyclists who supplement with glutamine can boost their immune system to help prevent illness. Glutamine helps in the healing and building of the muscles used during cycling. Without glutamine, these muscles would take longer to repair after each hard ride. So if you’re always topped up, you’ve got a little less chance of being weak on the bike and hitting the proverbial wall! Beat the bonk. The benefits The more you push your body, the more it requires to recover, and supplementing with Bio-Synergy L-glutamine can be an effective supplement to speed up muscle recovery.
